They don't need to take over all of them. A dozen or two of the largest subs would be plenty. Those with less than a couple hundred thousand subscribers, don't really matter much.

A dozen or two of the largest subs would be plenty.

Those subs required a huge effort to moderate before, but it's going to be 10x worse now that every submission is going to be AI generated pictures of spez doing things to goats or something.

That's true, but it's still a lot less than 8000 subs.

Even trying to take over the biggest subs would be Herculean, especially considering they just laid off 5% of their staff.

As is suggested in the original post on Reddit, they could delegate moderation to the moderators opposing the blackout, as seems to have happened with r/AdviceAnimals. I feel like that's something they very well could do.

Bet you they are going to use AI for the modding system. I swear this is their plan.

Theyd use ai for content itself if they had to.

[–] LUHG_HANI 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ohh no, I forgot about that. Imagine visiting Reddit in a few years when the majority have left and all is left are the bots, AI and Gallowboob. Hell.
